Bollywood's leading lady Aishwarya Rai has to be thick-skinned to deal with all the attention she receives.

Shooting of ``Umrao Jaan'' was held up for several hours after the former beauty queen was stung by a bee during a scene,.

Cast members were shocked when Aish screamed during a take after a bee stung her on the hand.

Director J. P. Dutta postponed the shoot, but Aish quickly recovered and came back to finish the scene,.

Aish plays a poet and courtesan in the period film ``Umrao Jaan,'' a story about her search for love.

A former Miss World, Aishwarya Rai is a superstar in India. She has made more than 30 movies, served on the Cannes Film Festival jury, and features in international ad campaigns for leading jewelry, cosmetic and cola companies.
